If the CO2 Scrubber says it is "blocked," this means that the output has nowhere to go. In this case, connecting a tank to the CO<sub>2</sub> pipe is good practice.

== Refilling spacesuits ==


[[Space Suit]]s contain 100 units of oxygen each, allowing crew members access to a breathable atmosphere in the event of a hull breach. Space suits can be refilled by installing a [[Spacesuit Pod]] connected to an oxygen line. Crew members will bring the suits, one by one, to the pod to refill the oxygen tanks.

== Separating atmospheres ==


On vessels that carry civilians, it is advisable to create separate atmospheres. Civilians can't wear space suits, and the atmosphere passes freely through ladders to and from the [[Habitation Deck]]. If the area beneath a ladder loses atmosphere, so does the area of [[Habitation Deck]] it is connected to. The player can help keep civilians alive in case of hull breaches by separating the ladder area from the rest of the ship's atmosphere by installing a hull, a door, and an airduct with a proper oxygen supply.
